Adémar II de Poitiers, known in Old Occitan as Ademar or Aimeric de Peiteus,[1] was the count of Valentinois and Diois from 1188 or 1189 until 1230. He was the son of Count Guillaume and grandson of Count Adémar I. He married Philippa, daughter of the lord of Fay.[2]
In June 1189, Count Raymond V of Toulouse and Adémar signed an agreement whereby the former renounced his righst in the Diois in return for the latter's homage. This is probably the occasion on which Adémar broke with the lords of Baux, a alluded to in the poem "Leus sonetz si cum suoill" by the troubadour Raimbaut de Vaqueiras.[3] Around 1195–96, Adémar participated in a three-way torneyamen (a type of collaborative poem) with Raimbaut de Vaqueiras and Perdigon. The Finnish scholar Aimo Sakari hypothesised that Philippa of Fay of the trobairitz known as the Comtessa de Dia, and that the friend (amic) mentioned by the Comtessa in her poems was Raimbaut.
